YouTube is the second most visited website worldwide, with an estimated 50M active creators that upload around 500 hours’ worth of content every single minute.
The competition between creators in this infinite ocean of content is fierce. And with so much content and viewership, only a few YouTube creators are able to stand in the spotlight. Those that do are generally among the 5% of YouTube creators with more than 1 million subscribers.
But contrary to common belief, having a lot of subs doesn’t always translate to god-tier content. There are quite a few smaller YouTube creators who generate incredible content despite their tiny audience.
In this article, we share our top 16 small YouTube content creators that you can watch, or even collaborate with if you’re a brand (we’ll include their business emails). Let’s get into it.
